The ugly truth is white on white crime does exist. It is a growing pandemic in the white community, and if we don't call attention to this problem soon, there will be no more white people left to run the world.

Fifty years after the bloody Selma march shocked Johnson and the nation into taking fast track action to right a glaring historic wrong, namely the denial of the right to vote to millions in America, that right is still under intense assault. This is why we still need a Selma today.

Locks are an unapologetically black hairstyle, from their origins to the growing process. And while natural black hair has been put down for hundreds of years in the United States, Zendaya Coleman was showcasing pride.

A multi-cultural group of retired and former police officers met with Rep. Jackson Lee of Texas to share and discuss their varied personal experiences with regard to institutionalized racism and the unnecessary state-sponsored murders of all Americans.

Now, perhaps more than ever before, black people are joining forces and standing up for their rights and recognition. Yet, there is still disharmony within that same united front when it comes to accepting our transgender brothers and sisters.

And Malcolm X stands for self-empowerment. He is proof that anyone, even those who have fallen far, can free himself. You just have to work harder. That's why his spirit is very much still alive in the whole wide world even 50 years after his death.

This past Black History Month, millions of students were told the story of how America abolished slavery 150 years ago with ratification of the 13th Amendment. The story draws an upward trajectory of racial equality in America. The problem is the story isn't true. We never actually abolished slavery.

There are aspects of ourselves that we are encouraged never to reveal; but I'm not a unicorn. I'm a man. I'm a black man. I'm a black male teacher. I'm a good, queer, black male teacher who is not quite as good when I feel it must be kept a secret.

As we get ready to commemorate Dr. King and so many others who marched to Selma, I would argue that George W. Bush has forfeited the right to march. He does not get to partake in such a solemn and sacred time in our history that moved us forward as a nation when all he did was set us back.

All loans are not created equal, and in recent years the personal loan has become a great option for people to use. However, you might be wondering just what makes a personal loan different from a traditional loan from your bank.

Not only should we seek to achieve energy equity for all consumers, we also need to support diversity and inclusion efforts, and ensure that this is a priority for today's emerging, clean energy sector.

Too many of us have not been good to our HBCUs, but time and dwindling resources are moving faster than our own individual maturity. And for the HBCUs which need the support, the time for harvest is now; even from unyielding crops like me.

While overall rates of disconnection from society are likely to trend down as the nation recovers from the Great Recession, history suggests that disconnected young men of color are in danger of being permanently left behind, and this has implications for future generations.

Honoring the foot soldiers of Selma is a great step forward on the march toward justice for those who sacrificed for us. However, the momentum must continue. There must be just as strong a showing of bipartisan support to fix the legislation for which they sacrificed, starting with congressional hearings and votes to move the bill forward.

Watching Common and John Legend make history in what was an emotionally moving performance of "Glory," and win the Academy Award for Best Original Song was more than I could have dreamed. Everything else paled in comparison, and it wasn't long before we called it a night.

'Red Tails' Trailer And Release Date

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, George Lucas conceived of a film about brave fighter pilots. No, not "Star Wars," but the true-life tale of the barrier-shattering World War II squadron, The Tuskegee Airmen.

I'd be willing to place a wager that Max is actually black, and not a white racist as some people perceive him to be. Believe it or not some black people ae willing to belittle other blacks on a mass scale. These type people are usually very insecure, and unhappy with themselves.

@PinkYa know, you may be right about that person being Black and also may have multiple screen names.

Many times when they type something there is sometimes, someone who agrees with him as a side kick. I mean really, for a person who disagrees with Black so much, they certainly spends a lot of time on Black Voices.

Actually, I believe this person may encourage race hate of Black folks towards whites with they idiotic things they say if they are Black.

But, what I do know is, he finds his idiotic facts on race hate web sites that will spin and twist the truth pertaining to Black folk.

These sites are propaganda sites to teach young white folk to hate minorities treat Black people as their enemies.

These site also say that the holocaust never happen.

Many sites like that are found on white supremacy webs, like the stormfront, David Duke's forum, white citizen council , white pride forever, White Order of Thule and WOTAN is also used as an acronym for "Will Of The Aryan Nations.

Many of these folks are illiterates, high school drop outs, poor, dysfunctional and cowardice. When they provoke violence the normally attack in groups, the weaker minorities or people whom can’t defend themselves or people who support non-violence.

I studied and spoken to changed and reformed white supremacist while I was in college for a psychology class.

Being white they can’t blame themselves for their failures because many know this country was set up for the success of their personal lives, so they blame people who don’t look like them and accused minorities of taking things from them and destroying their lives.

Many of them will say Black people say the same thing, however they were never discriminated against, denied a job or education, murdered, raped, enslaved and segregated due to being outnumbered.

I've just posted to Max on his effort to impose a racist revisionist account on what happened with the Red Tails. I worked with a Tuskegee Airman, who gave me the skinny on why the Red Tails were so successful. You can read my post, what he told me made perfect sense.

So I watched the ridiculous trailer for this movie.

ALL the "combat" scenes are digital CGI effects with dozens if not hundreds of nazi fighters involved, and against the hero Negroes. And, of course the Negroes triumph with no losses. Knowing the intellect of the Negroes watching the movie, I'll bet they all think they are watching actual WWII footage.

The TRUTH is that the Tusks were only sent on safe non-combat missions and never encountered anything other than a few crippled luftwaffe fighters. You can find these FACTS anywhere on the internet. For example, quoting the 3rd paragraph of the following link:

"Although the 477th Bombardment Group "worked up" on North American B-25 Mitchell bombers, THEY NEVER SERVED IN COMBAT;"

@max,You went to wikipedia..wikipedia. Oh that's right it is the source of all factual material. Please. You need to take a real history class that's jaded with all the "great" things that white people did.

Max, it is very, very obvious that you are NOT a true historian. American history is full of political ideology and supposed events that happened that just isn't true.

Claiming that 99% of all the participants in WWII were white Americans is the biggest lie about WWII. You had the native americans, the infamous WIND TALKERS. You had Japanese Americans who were born in this country. You had Chinese americans, these were the desendants of the Chinese workers who were brought into this country to help build the railroad tracks back in the late 1800's.

There was a black general stationed in Europe during WWII whose son also ended up being a general in the U.S. army.

Many pilots lost their lives escorting B-52 bombers over Europe. This was why a lot of times the white squads would never even show up, they would claim they got lost. The TUSK would at least show up which is why many of the pilots of the B-52 bombers requested their services.

We won't even get into the foreign underground allies that helped many of the Americans overseas, allies like the French Underground.

You really need to know your history before making rediculous claims. Even the Atomic Bomb was build by scientists from the world over, it wasn't all white Americans. One of the main theories about atomic energy was created by a Jewish person who had escaped from his homeland because of his religious beliefs. That person being Albert Einstein.

The airmen in the US air force during WWII were 99% white. America itself was 90% white up until the mid-1960s when the liberal Democrats in the senate created a bill to favor 3rd world immigration into the US and disregard protecting the US border.

Now, speaking of the Atomic Bomb (Manhattan Project), there were NO Negro scientists, just like no Negro scientists contributed to the US moon landing. BUT I'll bet it's only a matter of time before a fictional movie is made claiming Negro scientists were part the team and led it to success, against the headwinds of racism and discrimination of course! Such a movie would be no less a farce and fiction than this "Tuskegee Airmen" movie.
